I FLOATED! 2

Hey Guys,
It's been six months since my last shroom experience and ever since my life has been evolving. I've been developing a love for nature as well as discovering new pathways within my existence. I have a powerful surge within my soul that has allowed me to blossom into who I am today. I have this inner secret within that only I can feel, it's a secret that can't be explained yet felt. It's sort of a fulfillment, a wholesome feeling that fills me with content knowing my spirit is alive ..... Somewhere. I have become so much more positive since my psychedelic experience and most importantly MINDFUL!
Within the last four months I have become vegetarian, signed up for yoga, hiked a 5,300 FT mountain for 9 hours, and just last week FLOATED. I am expanding, I am growing , I am diving into everything with my spirit inclined :-). I am doing things I would never think of doing a year ago. I want to experience. I want to live.
For many of you who don't know what floating is a really good documentary on YouTube called Float Nation explains it thoroughly ... Probably better than I will. This method of meditation has been spreading across the U.S becoming a major sensation. I first heard about floating through a podcast from Joe Rogan. My boyfriend and I were instantly intrigued to try it. The purpose of floating is for sensory deprivation to be alone within yourself to shut out the chaos in your daily life and JUST BE. Your float takes place in a tank with a wide mouth door that can easily be pushed open when your inside. The tank is filled with 1000 lbs of Episom salt in 12 inches deep of water. This allows you to float. The water is the same temperature as your body as well as the air and once you begin to float your body will start to dissipate. The tank itself is very intimidating especially when you get inside you feel as if the darkness swallows you in. After 5 minutes I promise you will adjust in the tank and relax. Inside it is pitch black there is no sound. Just me, myself and I.
My session was 90 minutes long ... Time did not exist .... One minute I felt I've been in there for 6 hours and the next it would feel as if I was in there for 5 minutes. I didn't have my cell phone ringing I didn't have any distractions just me and my thoughts. I kept my eyes open the whole time my mind started to open up and I saw a galaxy of stars as if I was in space. I saw flashing colorful spots and random human eyes everywhere. I also kept seeing a bright white light coming from above my head I would turn to look but there was no light in the tank.
Best way to describe my experience was being back in my mothers womb again. Which was probably the last time I've ever experienced NO GRAVITY. I could hear my heart beat loud as well as my breathing. I was in tune with my body. It was the first time I truely felt ALIVE I felt living . That aside from the everyday hustle and bussel that we humans constructed ....I felt my existence,my purpose.... life. I felt clarity when I left the spa. I had no worries no thoughts rambling in my head just PEACE.
I have done a lot of research on floating and have read people smoking marjiuana or even taking psychedelics before entering the tank. What a mystical experience that would be !! (Although, I do advise you guys to try it out raw for the first time just to get the feel for it.)
Inside the spa there is a sketchbook for people to draw their experiences I will post a few below :-). Feel free to ask questions hope you all get the chance to float someday!
Peace & Love

That sounds pretty amazing! I'll definitely look into this. My life has became very stressful as of late with my job. I need to get back to basics and give this a try.
Thanks for sharing.

I don't know if can go vegetarian, but my last acid trip i was sitting thinking about how all the meat I eat is just shit and its all tainted. I don't think meat is bad but the way the animals are treated is terrible. The movie samsara does a good job on showing just hiw disgusting it is.

Loved samara !!! Beautiful cinematography !
And yes I completely agree with you ! These slaughterhouses have no morality it's quite disturbing seeing how these animals are treated. If you think samsaras view on meat is horrifying you should watch earthlings narrated by Joaquin Phoenix. Total eye opener yet brace yourself.

Yeah I don't want to see anything too brutal, i know its bad and im slowly trying to make changes. Once i start makeing more money I'll start buying my meat locally. But yeah what i liked about samsara was that there is no words, lets you draw your own conclusion. Starts off by showing how beautiful this planet is then shows how sick our society has become.

Yeahhhhhhh all roads lead to the same place. Also it appears we have the same quote in our signatures. Synchronicity is happening ahhhhhhhh
Here are some things you might like. This is probably wishful thinking but fun to think about nonetheless!

Wow !!! Absolutely love the GIF you have as your signature with the eye seeing into the universe within! That's spectacular ! Thanks for the images I've seen similar visuals during my trips.
There is something beautiful in everyday .... You may have to search for it .... You may reallyyyyyy have to search for it .... BUT ITS THERE !
